Naproxen
Quick background: Newly diagnosed. Confirmed blood test for gene and confirmed via MRI. Found fairly early due to terrible uveitis, although struggled with terrible “spells” of very lower back pain for a few years.
I was started on Naproxen for a month and I literally felt amazing. I didn’t realize how stiff I really was daily and just living with it. Doc was happy bc “NSAIDS usually work or they don’t”. As in no real grey area. I going on month 2 and then going to swing to as needed. The past few days though I am in pain and feel like I haven’t taken Naproxen but I have as prescribed. Today my pain is pretty terrible. So now I’m confused. Do NSAIDS just stop working all the sudden?
I guess I am also confused what a flare is as I’ve seen so many people have so many different symptoms. Midday yesterday I got so fatigued, like the flu hit me or something, and had to go to bed. Today I’m in pain. The pain in my lower back and but its awful when sitting and when getting up and down I’m trying not to scream in pain. I did see someone else’s post on flares, so I’m reading that as everyone answers.
